Abstract

GAZZANO, Inés et al. Environment and crisis in Uruguay. Agroecology as a counter-hegemonic construction. Rev. Cien. Soc. [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.48, pp.13-40.  Epub June 01, 2021. ISSN 0797-5538.  https://doi.org/10.26489/rvs.v34i48.1.

In Uruguay, agrarian intensification is consolidated, connecting extractivist agribusiness with the global corporate food regime and an unprecedented environmental-civilizational crisis. Confronted with this, socio-environmental conflicts and disputes emerge, movements for change and counter-hegemonic actions that question and build forms of resistance to other frameworks of relationship, asset management, forms of production, marketing, consumption and organization. From conceptual development, bibliographic analysis and self-reflection, we seek to make these actions visible and reflect on them. Common elements are identified as well as synergies with critical research approaches and professional training to raise new reflections as from the approval of the National Law of Agroecology.

Keywords : National Agroecology Plan; social organizations; Uruguay; food sovereignty; public policies.
